A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast

Joe & Mark; 'There are worlds out there where the skies are burning...' It's the end, and the moment has not been prepared for. Doctor Who bows on planets exploding in rage, 80s fashion, future Big Finish stalwarts and poetry.

Join Rod, Joe, Jack & Jon as we face the terrors of the anti matter universe, Inter Minor & the Miniscope, the Ogron planet, Spiridon and Wales!

Join Joe, Rod, Geoff & Ian as we dance our way through the first year of Jodie Whittaker facing Stenza, Space Racists, Spiders, the Pting, Partition, Terrorists & Witchfinders! Who will be victorious?

Bong! Bong! News just in of a Martian spaceship appearing over London! Lord Greyhaven on the scene and the provisional government is forming! Joe Ford & Michael Mills reporting.

Join Joe, James, Jason & Ian as we step back through time to being nippers and having a huge amount of information delivered to us in a fun, readable and slightly egotistical way!

Joe & Mark; 'Come hunting...come home...' The most exotic and alien planet ever depicted in Doctor Who? The best score? The most interesting Master story? But what is the Doctor doing?

Joe & Mark; 'Come on pussy cat...' Why is that eccentric old man hanging out in old ladies gardens? Why is that feral young lady being chased by horses in play parks? Why are so many kids disappearing? Joe & Mark investigate.

Joe & Jon; 'Not a bad date, am I?' Jon Arnold takes on the almost impossible task of finding jolly things to say about one of the most derided episodes of Doctor Who. And boy we laugh a lot.

Join Joe & James as we head into a short story collection of spine chilling terror...or at least that is what it is trying to be. A fascinating insight into short stories from a man who has mastered them.

Join Rod, Joe & Michael & Denise as we welcome the return of Doctor Who after 16 years and face Autons, Cassandra, Gelth, Slitheen, Daleks, Reapers & gas masked zombies!

Joe & Jack; ‘and honey…I know how I look’ During a wonderful visit, Jack & I got to talk about the latest series and Steven Moffat’s contribution.

Joe & Dylan; 'It's fair from being all over...' It's the big one. The governor is leaving, the show is changing and one of the most innovative casting decisions in the history of TV is made.

Joe & Dylan; 'Come on man, admit it. I am. I'm scared for that son of mine' Hartnell is off for a week and it's down to Anneke and Craze to carry the episode, and guest actor Robert Beatty to come to the fore.

Joe, Si & Frazer; 'I bring Sutekh's gift of death to all humanity...' A condensed season - good or bad? Who is Mrs Flood? Who is Ruby's mother? Why is Mel so awesome? Huge discussion, massive laughs and what an ending!

Joe & Dylan; 'Trigger pack!' (finally I know what he says). We discuss all things original Cybermen, how to get yourself a recon and what to do when your main man needs a lie down in his last story.

Joe & Dylan; 'Mama Mia!' The birth of the Cybermen and the beginning of the end for William Hartnell. Our live recording was full of laughter and comments, and we had a wonderful time with these ghastly, cadaverous Cybermen.

Joe & Rod; 'A bit crude...but immensely satisfying' It's the rousing conclusion to the story and evil Queens are revealed (ahem), nurses are toppled, Captains are murdered and Bridges are blown up! Stupendous!

Join Joe & Michael as they go right back to the beginning to see just how Sam Jones was shaped, the eighth Doctor was formed and a morally complex, character driven Vampire tale was written.

Joe & Rod; 'What's it for? Huh? What are you doing? What could possibly be worth all this?' It's time for Rod's favourite instalment of the story with key dramatic scenes and reveals. Douglas Adams shows you how to deliver exposition with energy and personality.

Joe & Rod; 'A planet of a thousand million souls, Captain fodder' We are astonished at the amount of ideas this idea is juggling, and just how adept Tom Baker is at playing both the comedy and the drama.

Join Rod, Joe, Gareth & Toby as we go right back to the beginning as we follow the adventures of Ian & Barbara and their kidnappers, Doctor Who and his Unearthly (grand) Child.

Joe & Michael; 'If you will allow me to save your lives...' The most controversial, thought-provoking episode of Doctor Who in years hidden away mid season where none of us expected it. Here we dissect it and see what makes it tick.

Joe & Rod; 'Moons of Madness!' Finally something we can agree on! A superb first script courtesy of Douglas Adams, packed densely with ideas, witty lines and delightful characters. A story to make you smile.

Join Joe, Andrew & Luke as we head to the paranoid post Dalek Invasion future where mysterious and deadly things are occurring on Farside Station. An overlooked classic for the book club this week.

Joe & James; 'I am Dr Who...and this is my time machine TARDIS!' A step into the Peter Cushing movies for a film that thrilled and captured us with its excitement when we were children. That saucer! So many Daleks! The music! We're back to being seven again...
